the carolina watchman foljsirv third series salisbury n c thursday april 20 1893 no 20 photographs of those times wi.l be of especial value obituary nonsense from the memphis commercial otie of the amiable american ab surdities is extravagant eulogy to the dead to be sure there is something , praiseworthy in the disposition to for get a dead man's faults and recall his virtues even though it require an ex hausting strain upon the memory ; but this is something very different i from the lavish profusion of laudatory adjectives and the solemn recitation of imagined virtues which character izes the american obituary the sud den transition from unmixed and un sparing condemnation bitter invective or merciless ridicule to stilted funeral eulogy often presents the moÂ»t ludi crous contrast in a moment in the twinkling of an eye corruption puts on incorrupt ion the shallow and d'u honest demagogue becomes a states man and a patriot the knave becomes hornet and the fool becomes wise a few days a^o we suppose there would have been absolute unanimity of opin ion that elliott shepard was the most rediculous person on the crust of the earth bar none there is not a news paper in the country which has not said very often that mr shepard was both a knave and a fool we do not recall these harsh expressions tor the purpose of sneaking unkindly of the dead millionaire but merely to show to what ridiculous extremes news papers can go when they get into an obituary mood some of these now agree that mr shepard was a great ami good man ; they tell us that he was a lawyer of splendid attainments ; they praise him for his genius and enterprise as a journalist ; while the language is dot rich enough to describe the nobility of hi character when such stuff is written of elliott shep ard what is newspaper praise of a really good and great man worth ? death may indeed be said to confound all di.sti actions when ellioit siiepinl is praised fur virtues ami abilities such us few of the bent of our public men have possessed there is no seiise in this indiscriminate praise of ibe dead a dead man especially a dead indian may indexed have virtues which the living person did not possess ; but the privilege of reforming one's life and reinoldiog one's whole character after oiie has been put several feet under the ground is diatiiictly a feature of our american institutions it is but simple truth to say that elliott shep ard was never a great anything ex cept great jassack ; that he was never so good a lawyer us hie average police court shyster ; that as a journalist he was beneath contempt ; thai as a writer he was a mere rhapsodical idiot heap ing up the debris of a wrecked and ruined dictionary with sublime scorn for sense syntax and grammar ; that he was as bitter and malignant as he w us foolish and ridiculous a mounte bank in journalism a fool in politics a hypocrite in religion ; and that he would have been a very d tuberous man if he had not been as destitute of intelligence as he was of principle as it was he was like a juggler's ser pentâ€”he possessed all the venom but lacked the fangs and became therefore a thing for sport instead of dread to preserve the memories of confeder ate soldiers and times to this end the city of rich mond has given the home occupied by ex-president davis during the war to be converted into a memorial hall and repository of confederate relics and personal recoi-is to each state of the confederacy will he assigned one room in the mansion which will be furnished as hereafter determined in addition to this there will be erected in the large grounds of the home a memorial hall in which will be gath ered relics and records representing all phases of confederate service at home and in the field contributions tor this purpose are asked from every m in woman and chill interested ; and it is the purpose of the managers of this memorial hall that these contribu tions shall be given as memorials ot confederates as well as representations of confederate life and times 1 here fore it is the privilege of eÂ»ch per son sending a contribution of what ever sort to send it in memory of some person who was in the confederate service the rapidity with which con federate relics are being lost shows that relics however tiffing wil be of value articles of clothing and house hold use arms uniforms

it was killed by a demo cratic caucus of senators which adopted a resolution against making ! an investigation into the career of senators before tliev beoame such in the discussion in the executive ses sion held before the caucus as well as in the caucus democratic senators made strong arguments against the nght of the senate to make such in vestigation they lielii that as the authority to create a senator rested alone with the state so the authority i to go into a senator's private past rested alone with the state and that the election of a man to the u s sen ate by a state legislatue was a suffi cient certificate of his good character for the senate had it not been for the chagrin felt by republicans at the election of a democrat to the republi can legislature of north dakota this investigation never would have been proposed president cleveland has notified a senate committee that lie will send the nominations upon which he wishes immediate action to the senate in a few davs

was considering the repeal of the charter now some of them say that they voted for or ad vocated this under coercion that they were afraid if they didn't do so the whole charter would be repealed and
